Not yet.  This sort of thing is definitely on the drawing board though.

At the moment I guess it would be a small matter of writing some scripts
to work out what build deps are needed, use pkg to install them from the
repo and mark them for automatic removal while doing so, and then do a
build from ports of the software you want to apply special options to.

Or you could take the easy way out and run a poudriere instance to build
just the ports you want custom options on.  Well, except that will also
build everything those ports depend on as well.  But you should be able
to use your custom repo in parallel with the official repos.  Just be a
bit careful to match the revision of the ports tree you build your
custom stuff with to the revision used to build the latest official
package set.

	Cheers,
